    Actually, I wanted something like 
>>>mountpoint('/home/john') 
>/home
>>>mountpoint('/home')
>/home

I suppose I could do a recursive solution where I start with the full path
and take away directories and check to see if its a mount point using 
ismount but I was hoping there was a module or way to find the mount point
directly.
